Happy Times in Noisy Village has something that many Astrid Lindgren books lack – a section at the end about the illustrator, Ilon Wikland. I don’t focus on the illustrators very often on this blog, not because I don’t love the pictures (I do!), but because my focus is really on the writing, the stories. Some books have had multiple illustrators (think of Pippi! Of the top of my head I know of three illustrators and I am sure there have been more!) and focusing on artwork is a whole ‘nother project entirely. Anyway, although I don’t focus on the illustrations, Ilon Wikland has had an incredible impact on the books of Astrid Lindgren. It was wonderful to read more about her.

Happy Times in Noisy Village was published in Sweden as Bullerby Boken in 1961 and translated by Florence Lamborn. I thought I was so terribly smart when I “figured out” that The Children of Noisy Village was also translated as, but the joke’s on me: the cherry time occurs in this book, although the cover of The Children of Noisy Village is the same as Cherry Time in Noisy Village. My brain has splattered all over the screen at this point. Highlights of this edition include: Kersin’s birth, starting school, Olaf’s loose tooth, the Chest of the Wizards, playing in the hay, Karl falling into the lake, April Fool’s Day, Lisa’s baby lamb Pontus, capturing musk-oxen, cherry time, and midsummer.

There seemed to be a little more tension between the boys and the girls in this collection of stories. The Chest of the Wizards that the boys hide reminds me of the treasure box that Bill Bergson and White Roses have. The tricks played by the Noisy Village children are reminiscent of the “wars” between the White and Red Roses in Bergson’s world. In both series, the sparring sides all really do like each other. This, I think, makes all the difference.

There were so many one-liners that made me laugh in this book.

We experience Noisy Village through the eyes (and all senses) of Lisa, our nine-year-old friend who narrates stories about the birthday when she got her own room, reading to Grandfather, running away with Anna, walking home from school and all the adventures had while doing so, Christmas, New Year, and Easter fun, the last day of school, crayfishing, and going shopping forgetfully. Each chapter is very short and includes pictures, making this a great book for children just beginning to read chapter books or a great book for reading aloud. The adventures that the Noisy Village children have prove that children don’t need screens or even toys to have fun. I love this: As we were walking along, Britta took her book out of her schoolbag and smelled it.

She let all of us smell it. New books smell so good that you can tell how much fun it’s going to be to read them.
